Mission Statement

Solano Community College’s mission is to educate a culturally and academically diverse student population drawn from our local communities and beyond. We are committed to student learning and achievement and to helping our students achieve their educational, professional, and personal goals. Solano transforms students’ lives with undergraduate education, transfer courses, career-and-technical education, certificate programs, workforce development and training, basic-skills education, and lifelong-learning opportunities.

Land Acknowledgment

We should take a moment to acknowledge the land on which we are gathered. For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people. Today, there are three federally recognized Patwin tribes:

  • Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community
  • Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun Indians
  • Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation

The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored and grateful to be here today on their traditional lands. Approved by Yocha Dehe Tribal Council (July 23, 2019)

Class Workload Expectation

How much time and work is required?

Be prepared for about 9 hours of work per week in this course. A three unit "lecture" course, by virtue of what is known as the Carnegie Unit, mathematically establishes a standard the amount of work expected from a student (and the instructor) in an 18-week course. California state law upholds this, see California Code of Regulations, Education Code, Title 5, Section 55002.5.

Table shows calculation of number of hours per week to be spent on class.
Type of Unit Units x Hours Per Unit Total Hours
Lecture 3 x 18 = 54

2 hours homework per hour of lecture

 3 x 36 = 108
Hours of work per term = 162 hours of student work
/ number of weeks = 18
Hours of work per week = about 9

Academic Integrity

Complete your own work. Cite sources and references accordingly. If you need assistance with citing your sources, please ask for help. Do not cheat or participate in academic dishonesty. All suspected violations will be subject to a zero on the assignment and the appropriate disciplinary action. Please reference your Student Handbook for your Rights and Responsibilities.

 

Inclusive Learning Commitment

Your success in this class is important to me. We all need accommodations because we all learn differently. If there are aspects of this course that prevent you from learning or exclude you, please let me know as soon as possible. Together we’ll develop strategies to meet both your needs and the requirements of the course.

You are encouraged to visit Disabilities Services Program to determine how you could improve your learning as well. If you need official accommodations, you have a right to have these met. There are also a range of resources on campus, including the Academic Success & Tutoring Center.
